After the events at the Temple of Sinnoh, it is back for some new quests, and Cyllene tasks me to help out Volo with finding the Plates. Before all of that, I do some request around Jubilife Village, one of which includes a Mythical Pokémon, and I encounter Mai at Obsidian Fieldlands, and she has a bunch of requests which lead to a new type of event.

As for the rest of the description, I recommend watching the full video before reading past this point of the description

The first step is to talk to Cyllene, and she gives you the next task, and it is to find the remaining Plates, and Volo will be helping us out with the task. If you talk to Professor Laventon, he gives you the two starters you didn't choose, as I picked Oshawott, that means I get Rowlet and Cyndaquil, but you can encounter them in Space-Time Distortions after beating the game, you can find the Cyndaquil line at Crimson Mirelands, the Rowlet line at Coronet Highlands, and the Oshawott line at Alabaster Icelands.
Talk to Zisu, and you get to fight against Ress, and his team should not be underestimated, even though he is using a Bidoof, Starly, and Shinx, which were the three Pokémon you were tasked to capture at the start, they have coverage moves and have some Effort Level investment. There is a quest where you have to fight an Alpha Onix at Oreburrow Tunnel, and if you check Professor Laventon's blackboard, you do need save data on other Pokémon games, the one I do in this video requires save data for Pokémon Sword or Shield, talk to Medi at Obsidian Fieldlands, and you then have to go to Floaro Gardens, and after some dialogue, some flowers will bloom, and you can then capture Shaymin. You do get a Gracidea, which you can use to change Shaymin to its Sky Forme, making it a Grass/Flying-type and giving it extra speed, it does come with Seed Flare and Earth Power when caught, and you can teach it Psychic and Dazzling Gleam through the Move Shop, it does come at Level 70, this means it is ready to battle.
For the main objective, talk to Volo, and after some dialogue, you then have to go to Grueling Grove and fight against an Alpha Vespiquen, either prepare a Rock-type to beat it or try to capture it, you then get a Stone Plate, I will list each Plate and which Pokémon they were obtained from.
Mind Plate - Wyrdeer
Insect Plate - Kleavor
Earth Plate - Ursaluna
Meadow Plate - Lilligant
Splash Plate - Basculegion
Flame Plate - Arcanine
Toxic Plate - Sneasler
Zap Plate - Electrode
Sky Plate - Braviary
Icicle Plate - Avalugg

I then show off another thing that was included in an update to the game a month after release, if you talk to Mai, she tells you that something is up at Ramanas Island, you will find a group of Zorua there, which is unusual, because you don't normally encounter Zorua at Obsidian Fieldlands, they are found at Alabaster Icelands, go back to Mai, and she tells you to report to Cyllene.
I then work on Cyndaquil and Rowlet's Research Tasks, and evolve them all the way so that I can get Research Level 10 on their full evolution line. I did go into detail about Hisuian Decidueye and Hisuian Typhlosion back when I got Hisuian Samurott, but this is where I obtain the other two, and there's one thing I have to say, I am not a fan of the types they went, Hisuian Decidueye being Grass/Fighting, and Hisuian Samurott being Water/Dark, if Hisuian Typhlosion was Fire/Psychic instead of Fire/Ghost, then it would be ripping off the Gen 6 starters completely, but at least it wasn't consecutive generations unlike Fire/Fighting from Generations 3 to 5.
From what I have read, they don't have different Abilities in the main series games, that is going by the data, Flash Fire on Typhlosion is a good Ability, and I could wonder how overpowered Hisuian Typhlosion with Eruption and Choice Scarf would be, because that was a popular strategy with Typhlosion, but with the Ghost-type making it immune to common priority moves like Mach Punch, it would be weak to Aqua Jet, that would be something. Hisuian Decidueye is kind of held back by its lower Speed and being outclassed by Hisuian Lilligant, and I can see Long Reach working very well with its close-ranged battle style, I don't know if they will make Triple Arrows a contact move, but that would pair well with Long Reach, and another bit of interesting trivia, Decidueye is the first Gen 7 Pokémon to get a regional form, the same generation that introduced regional forms, and you can't catch the original forms of the Pokémon that received Hisuian Forms, the only one you can is Sneasel. Hisuian Samurott can stick with Torrent, Shell Armor being a nice Ability to block critical hits is nice, but Samurott isn't really that defensive of a Pokémon. It is confirmed that Generation 9 will have Hisuian Forms, because one of the screenshots did show Hisuian Zoroark in battle, confirming that Hisuian Forms can be transferred over to Generation 9.
